I am delighted to begin this year’s math journey with you. Textbook: Seventh Grade GO Math Textbook Course Description: In Grade 7, instructional time will focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. The standards are fully explained on the Common Core Georgia Standards website .
